Gu Chaoyan sounded so resolute that Lianxiang could not help but s.h.i.+ver. She looked up guiltily and then lowered her head. She found that everything was getting weird these days.

Normally, she never showed fear in front of this ugly lady. So right now, what Lianxiang could do was to mumble with a small voice inside. “Second Lady is going to help me, Second Lady is going to help me!”

Madame Gu had not paid any attention to this matter at all, because no matter who had the point… Ruxue was the hope of their family, so they had to favor Ruxue.

However, when she heard that even a maid was lying to her, Madame Gu's expression sank and she said, “What is going on?”

Gu Chaoyan took a step forward, then she came to Lianxiang.

She lifted her face up, stretched out her hand and placed it on her face. “Madame Gu, please have a look at the handprint on her face. If she says that it is from Qing then she is lying, the prints are totally different! Clearly, she left the print with her own hand slapping her face.”

“She slapped herself because she made a mistake. How could you blame Qing for something you did in front of Madame Gu!”

“What if something else happens in the future, are you also going to lie to us then?” Gu Chaoyan bellowed.

Lianxiang s.h.i.+vered.

d.a.m.n it… She had no idea about the print!

Gu Chaoyan was still speaking without showing any courtesy. “Madame Gu, if we keep this terrible maid, we are probably going to be lied to and sold by her in the future. Madame Gu, do you think that I have made a mistake? If that was my fault, there are simply no rules in the whole mansion!” Gu Chaoyan said quietly.

Madame Gu had no expression on her face, but fury flashed over her eyes. Of course, Gu Chaoyan had no idea whom she was angry with at the moment.

However, the next second Madame Gu gave Lianxiang a kick directly. “How dare you! Chen Fu, teach her a lesson!”

As she finished saying these words, she looked at Gu Ruxue and said, “Ruxue, you are getting a new maid.”

Gu Ruxue's face sank. She had never expected that she would get a blow back.

Lianxiang might have told a lie, but this ugly did the hitting first! And now Madam Gu was blaming Lianxiang!

Gu Ruxue glared at Chen Fu and then got another maid for herself. She was the Second Lady. Without Lianxiang, she had numerous second-level maids as well. So Lianxiang was not irreplaceable.

Unlike Gu Chaoyan… She only had one girl called Qing with her, who had been with her since Mrs. Lin was alive. Sword One was Zhou Huaijin's guard after all.

Since they were all heading towards the court, Gu Ruxue could not make any more fuss, so the small incident pa.s.sed by.

Gu Chaoyan and her gang were in a good mood whilst Gu Ruxue was extremely displeased. She failed to take advantage of Gu Chaoyan on this occasion.

This time it was Gu Chaoyan's second time visiting the court alone.

Since the Gu Mansion was in a very low position, they had to go through numerous processes. It was not until lunchtime when they finally reached Biquan Palace.

Princess Virtue gave Gu Chaoyan a small nod, showing that she had finished her end in the deal they had.

Apart from Princess Virtue and Princess Gu. This time, one more princess, who looked even more highly-ranked than Princess Virtue, was in Biquan Palace.

Her eyes were always upon Gu Ruxue and Gu Chaoyan.
